Equity in Aging

Equity in aging refers to ensuring that all older adults receive fair and just access to resources, opportunities, and support based on their individual needs, circumstances, and backgrounds. It recognizes that factors like socioeconomic status, health, race, and geography can create disparities, and aims to address these inequalities so everyone can age with dignity, well-being, and independence. Achieving equity involves tailoring services and policies to reduce barriers and promote fairness, ultimately enabling older adults to enjoy a quality life regardless of their starting points or challenges they face.
